A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Planned to your running order

Common questions in Park Town
What’s the nearest station to Park Town?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
